Sam Warburton ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury

Wales and Cardiff Blues flanker Sam Warburton will be sidelined for approximately six weeks after suffering a knee injury.

Warburton suffered a medial ligament strain during Blues' Guinness PRO12 clash against Ulster in Belfast last week.

The 28-year-old limped off in the first half of Cardiff Blues’ draw at Ulster on Friday.

But he should be fit for the Lions tour should he be selected.
